Sentry
by Drawned_
Sentry is a Fabric server security mod that blocks cheating clients and bots from reaching players on a server.
What it does
Sentry protects a server from clients built to cheat. It is aimed at survival and public servers where hacked clients, bots and VPN users are a concern, and it targets client mods such as Wurst Client, Meteor Client, the AutoClicker mods, FDP Client and the XRay mods. Players behind blocks are kept from being tracked through the walls, which covers X-Ray style and wallhack style cheats.
The mod works on the server and runs with little resource use, both on small survival worlds and on busy public networks. Sentry Prime is required for its modules and includes experimental features. Sentry Prime can be configured through the Hack Blocker module, and the mod is compatible with a wide set of common clients, including Essential and Distant Horizons. Additional information is on the project page. Sentry is published for Fabric and runs on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia, with files for 1.8 – 26.3.
Key features
Cheat client blocking
Connections from known cheating clients are stopped, including Wurst, Meteor, FDP and several AutoClicker builds.
X-Ray and wallhack protection
Players are hidden from cheats such as Wallhacks, PlayerESP and X-Ray, so they cannot see players behind blocks.
Hack Blocker module
A module reached through Sentry Prime blocks the listed hacks and cheats on the server.
Low resource use
The mod is light enough for small survival worlds and for busy public servers.
